Push for Moranbah 24hr police station

The Isaac Regional Council is calling on the Queensland Government to increase police numbers across the area and establish a 24-hour station in Moranbah.

Mayor Anne Baker says the current staffing levels are inadequate and officers are required to service large areas.

A letter requesting a review of service levels was sent to the Government yesterday.

Councillor Baker says recent violent incidents have highlighted the need for a review.

"It's not a secret to anyone in the state that our region has had a massive population growth and with that comes impacts in terms of our essential services and what numbers are required to give an even coverage ... to be very frank about this, everyone deserves to feel safe," she said.
